Mar 28 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta40 will be released in 7 days.
It did take a long time to have the work finished on this and it will have a major performance boost of 30-50% over 2.0.0-beta39 from calibration to integration. We extensively optimized many critical parts of APP. All has been tested to guarantee correct optimizations. Drizzle and image resampling is much faster for instance, those modules have been completely rewritten. Much less memory usage. LNC 2.0 will be released which works much better and faster than LNC in it's current state. And more, all will be added to the release notes in the coming weeks...
Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.

I have a CMOS sensor that seems to choose to create FITS, both lights and darks with a Bayer pattern of RGGB one time, and BGGR the next. I have been going to the trouble of creating two sets of darks, one with each pattern to try and make sure that I have a match with the lights. Question is, does APP care, or is it smart enough to just use whatever darks you load, as long as the gain, exposure length, and a sensor temperature that is close?
Thanks,
Chris

Interesting it would change the pattern indeed. But I would advice to indeed treat those on their own, if they report a different bayer pattern, it basically is a different sensor for APP.
